H, J. M. No. 1 By Mr. Adams, Mr. Boyer, Mr. Staples and
Mr. Thomas.
1 a JGQfgiMemorial by the legislature of the state of
2 UTAH ON THE PROPOSED SUPPLEMENT TO CUBAN TRADE
3 AGREEMENT.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States:
1 Your memorialists, the House of Representatives and the Senat« of the
2 State of Utah respectfully represent that:
3 Whereas the notice issued by the Acting Secretary of State of the
4 United States to negotiate with the Republic of Cuba a trade agreement
■ 5 supplemental to the trade agreement signed at Washington on August 24,
6 1934. depressed the retail price of sugar in the United States by approxi-
7 mately twenty-five points, with the result that within recent weeks sales of
6 sugar in numerous instances have netted the processor a profit of less than
9 three cents per bag; that if, as proposed by naid amendment, the tariff
|0 on Cuban sugar is reduced from ninety cents to seventy-five cents per one
| \ hundred pounds, utter demoralization in the market may ensue and the
12 domestic sugar industry is now fighting with its back to the wall, its very
13 existence threatened;
14 Now, therefore, be it resolved that we urge all members of the Congress
15 of the United States to e«rt their best effort, to prevent any reduction in
16 the present tariff on Cub_n sugar.
17 Be it further resolved that a copy of this memorial be sent to each
18 of the Representatives And to^eacb of th* ^enatorsfrom Utah in Congress
19 as well as to the.SecreUry of State and the President of the United States.
